You must be as disabled as rotten vegetable in a dumpster to let that silly shit be important to you.

Are you a shut-in? Do you shit through a straw?

Sorry, but saying someone did not work, if true, is not mocking the disability. It is mocking the work ethic. Since the OP doesn't know if the statement is true or not, his premise is lacking. People without disabilities get fired all the time if they don't do the work.

It's not important, it's just noteworthy. For someone who's apparently so "self-made", "successful," and "brilliant" like Elon Musk, why does he have to go to such depths and engage in a public spat like this - especially one that makes him the undisputed douchebag of the universe?

It's indescribable how he is basically lighting his reputation as a calculating, cunning businessman on fire. But hey, you do you, Elon.

Basically, Elon lied and tried to tarnish this guy's reputation - that's the issue.

A smarter, more mature billionaire would have kept his mouth shut.

How did you go from singular to plural? Republican to These Republicans? Rather than your thread trying to deliver a news story on Musk, it's simply just highlighted your agenda.

Nothing is more hateful than a lying, projecting demmie scorned.

The man said he was sorry. I don't think he will ever do it again.

Most on the left life consists of pizza pockets, political chatter, and living in fear of reality, so they get offended easily!

Nothing more than a former employee pointing out that Elon has a problem with the truth.

So how long did you work there with this guy to know his work ethic? Of course you didn't and choose to believe him because it fits your partisan bent. I stand by what I said and you have said nothing to refute it.

Would you like to talk about the lies and censorship that prompted Musk to act?

They learned from Obama when he said he bowled like a special Olympics kid.

Get bent.

Elon had to eat his words.

No "reasonable doubt" remains.

He should spend one minute thinking before two minutes tweeting.

There were no lies or censorship. Musk himself suspends accounts, but he can do that if he so pleases, as he owns the product, just as Jack Dorsey did before he sold it.

 

[multivita-man]

How long did Musk observe his work ethic?

Look, it's Musk's company. Provided he operates within the law, he's free to hire and fire as he pleases, but he can choose not to be a dick about it.

Of course you didn't and choose to believe him because it fits your partisan bent.

I actually used to be an Elon fanboy, but he's just being dumb and obnoxious lately. He's also ruining what has been a valuable platform for discourse, slowly but surely. The firings he had to do - the company was bleeding money and headed toward insolvency. But again, there are better ways to revolutionize twitter than how he's done it.

Fine. You do you.

Will do. You still haven't refuted it so you do you too.
My point isn't that Musk should be free to mock the disabled, only that, for those who weren't actually there, none can know what actually happened. Righties will choose to think he mocked his poor work ethic and lefties will choose to think he mocked his disability. The mocking in itself is bad not the target, but neither side will recognize that.

I read the tweet, it looked more like he was questioning the guys work output and if he was using his disability to get over.
